Testimonials

The Golden State Dermatology Pathology Lab is simply the best dermatopathology group that I've ever dealt with in my 45 years of practice. I enjoy working closely with Dr. Emily Green. She is always available and is extremely helpful with her comments and analysis. The path reports are ready in a timely manner with just the right amount of information and with recommendations that are tailored to the ethical and practical treatment of dermatologic problems. Dr. McCalmont also is accessible and a great resource. I truly enjoy working with the whole team!

Dr. McCalmont is the greatest asset one could possibly add to one's dermatopathology team. He always provides clear and concise consultative opinions with a collaborative and approachable style. He is adept at incorporating the clinic presentation with the histologic interpretation of a biopsy, which is a critical but rare skill. Having the expertise of a world-renowned dermatopathologist readily available to me gives me peace of mind and enhances patient care.

I have been consulting Dr. McCalmont since 2015, shortly after beginning my first job as a dermatopathologist, and his guidance has been invaluable throughout my career. He is remarkably diligent, consistently providing timely and thoughtful consultations. What sets Dr. McCalmont apart is his dedication to education—he often includes full printed articles when discussing unusual or rare diagnoses, turning each case into a learning opportunity. His expertise and commitment have had a lasting impact on both my diagnostic confidence and professional growth.
